An Old Dog"s Song
Drifton A Way Nov 2013
One last hike down the old trail

A Spirit so spry yet body so frail

An Even as your eyes begin to fail

Your puppy heart will wag that tail

I'll be your guide, I'll be your Braille

I'll help you escape your personal jail

I'll lead you down the good ole trail

To the water wall that forms a veil

Binding my tears as I begin to wail

One last breath, one final exhale

As the waterfall sets your soul to sail

Farewell old friend, goodbye old trail

WORDS OF ADVICE
Drifton A Way Apr 2015
Wake up and rejoice for the privilege, you once again are alive
Obsess over bringing joy and insight, in fact go ahead and strive
Relinquish all hatred in your heart and wipe your sleep-eye crust
Don't forget and let out a **** so you don't spontaneously combust
Savor every waking and walking minute before you join the dust

Offer something you really want to someone who's really in need
Find out how much we all are blinded daily by unnecessary greed

Advise a close friend with true altruism and listen attentively
Decide to truly help them instead of avoiding it ever so gently
Visualize who you truly want to be and accept it's possibility
Impose random belly laughter at each and every opportunity
Create change that at the least can induce an effortless smile
Embrace reality and your dreams, we're only here a little while
I'm sure you can find something in there worth a **** for yourself... but if not, go play with a puppy

Reach high in the sky for the stars
And you will fall over and over
Preach why as you show your scars
Search for the rare leafed clover

Take destiny in your hands
Attack all of your goals
Tell yourself your demands
And Fill in all the holes

You over analyze until your lying there still
A Spider in his web waiting for the next ****

But it's time to branch out and spread a new web
Utilize all your skills and break bread as a celeb

Understand me please
At least I'll have tried
I must taste the breeze
Before I have died

I want to live and write
I want to right the wrong
I"ll walk into the light
After I've sung my song

So if our paths may cross
I invite you to come explore
You have to try this sauce
It makes life taste even more

Fear...less
Drifton A Way Apr 2013
Addicted to the green leaves, you're a caterpillar crawling in the dirt
Conflicted and sick as he heaves, after looking up a butterflies"s skirt

If he could only see, potentially, what he could be, if he"d simply just look up
I continue my plea, eternally,  to help set him free, have a drink from my cup

I know you waited a whole extra week to finally come out of our mother
But the Responsibility rests on me, I refuse to give up on my only brother

There"s no place like home
Unless its abusive and broken
There"s no chance to roam
Unless actions are outspoken

I'm afraid of success, because I'll finally run out of all the excuses
Many sins to confess, none worse than underachieving all our uses

If you could only fear less
If you could only focus more
Take a hit just to relieve stress
Wake up in a city called *****

You"re still looking down crawling on the ground
With so so many women lost waiting to be found
You should be out up here with me flying around
Butterflies attract without even speaking a sound

We"re born with no parachutes and I'm a frequent flyer
So please stop wallowing down in the muck and the mire
Come flourish with me and lets set the ******* world on fire
You're my only thicker than water, join me before we expire

Thought...less
Drifton A Way Apr 2013
I pity you because you"ll never truly know the feelings you evoke
Searching for the perfect words and overcoming all my nerves
Finally mustered up the courage but to you I'm nothing but a joke
To you a few seconds worth of thought is all a man deserves

Invite me with your eyes until I finally make my move
Then you act surprised with your ego"s point to prove

Or else she's interested, engaged, polite, and very nice
But ladies please listen close to this next piece of advice

Instead of leading us all on and wasting both our valuable time
Would it be so hard to just say no, would that really be a crime

Tell me you have a boyfriend, I don't even care if its a lie
And give me credit for the courage that it even took to try

Take it as a complement and just for a second wear my shoes
All that we could be was dreamt and I woke up with the blues

You burned the blueprints, a beautiful skyscraper was to be built
I looked for clues and hints, now I pray you can deal with the guilt

I envy you, so lucky to be blessed with the ability to ignore
Sweep us under the filthy rug and strike us deep at our core
To be thrown into the junkyard that any man would abhor
You forgot we're also human beings, so I really must implore

Give us a fake number at least it will make us laugh
At least our glass will still be close to holding half

I understand your point of view, I know it must be hard
So many offers every day, always keeping up your guard
Deciding which ones to let in and which ones to discard
All while trying your best to not get emotionally scarred

But believe it or not we have feelings too and hope is like a drug
So stop our digging right away before we have our own grave dug

So I'll say a prayer for you if you truly lack the empathy to really care
Seconds of unnecessary negligence multiply into years of utter dispare
Quite an extensive list of backups just in case your heart begins to tear
The next life we'll all be roadrunners and you a coyote, karma's only fair

With this thing called Poetry
Comes a great responsibility

I can't just selfishly go directly to sleep
With words locked in my head to keep

I would rather extend my reach
To someone that is truly in need
And feel and believe with each
And every word my finger's bleed

That whomever graces them with their eyes
Shall be filled with elation when they realize

That each word is like a different person's hand
Just like a microscopic cosmic tiny grain of sand

And the universe just like us humans on earth
Is a perfect curse right from it's beautiful birth

Blessed with life to lose and that need to share
Then you have to choose, live the truth or dare
Chase your wildest dreams, or scary nightmare
Or find someone who seems as though they care

Just accept right now as you read, that we all are alone
And that nothing will matter to you when it's all done
We all yearn for answers amongst the great unknown
Until we learn that we're actually all just perfectly one
Are we just products of an extravagant and elaborate cosmic soup
Or living breathing proof that even God sometimes has to ****?

What do you think?

Turns two
Fun turns blue
After I leave you

Two creates
Words with weights
As one still masterbates
Wasting the potential children's fates

Three"s a crowd
Because egos are proud
Try and test what"s allowed
Cross the line and you"re disavowed

Four doubles the date
And now begins the debate
And it would have been great
Except the translator showed up too late

Five forms a final team
No more need to swim upstream
Finally poetry to boost your self esteem
Then you sadly realize...twas just a dream
Drifton A Way Jul 2016
Poetry you are my one true soul vessel
My very own personal platform to convey
A ****** canvas for thoughts to wrestle
To try to crown which words worthy to say

Collected knowledge harnessed and stored
Until your library core grows tired and bored
But wait, Thy spore fun guy, arrives restored
Reminding you, Collective knowledge is lord

Yes it is true, that we are all absolutely one
Calling the universe from our human phone
Left a message after the beep now it's done
It sounds like this, We're all together...alone
Approval is necessary for my sanity... Judge wisely ...

Escape Goat's Paradise

Inspiration is defined as an official arousal of your mind
So if I could please have your attention...
And a brief escape or brain suspension...
Let's vacation, temporarily set free from your daily grind

I have written
So that you can read
Many times bitten
My hands still feed

So consider this your official invitation to escape the sheople herd
After my mind has melted away and my heart has been bled dry
I'll still be a perfect scapegoat of salvation with every written word
Haunting the world until it's demise with god's ever watchful eye
I'm here for you

If we should happen to part, the eternal sun would cease to shine
The sound of a ripping heart, leaving me deaf, dumb and blind

The Heartache came so fast, yet is here to stay for many moons
Friends tell you it won't last, yet so many tear fueled monsoons
Dried eye stains from the past, memories windswept over dunes
Ashes in a wasteland so vast, recycled with relationship typhoons

Let and set yourself free
Do all that you can do
No reason to ever worry
You"ll always be with you

Please Leave your pride at the door
Where we"ll go
you won't be needing that anymore
Goodbye ego..
Stripped naked and bare to the core
Pretend to know
Prognosticate from human folklore
So high and low
Never meant to know what's in store
Life"s ebb and flow

Awaken from your sleep
Dust the tools off the shelf
So many promises to keep
How nice to meet yourself
We all are under the influence.... But which ones are winning?

Is she just a distraction
Or is she an answer
Divide her into fraction
Slippery wet romancer

Better take some action
And remove that cancer
Make a precise extraction
Rejuvenating life enhancer

Water, sun, aghast rejoice, life begins to grow
Times so very fast yet motions are fairly slow
Shall thy spark last, will my eyes stay aglow
Will memories be made, for all of thee to know

When memory will fade, will she still show
Crave what's forbade and all the love below
No thoughts can jade the debt to life we owe
All dues are paid, now get in line for life row
May rest be laid, with dreams from long ago

Serendipity swiftly swoops in to remind thee
That it's never too late to change who we are
We all started at point A, and meet at point B
All born with a different make and model of car

Open your eyes to synchronicity and join the free
Coincidences can only be explained just so very far
So join me in serenity and lets chase our destiny
Instead of suffocating like a captured firefly in a jar

Lets Travel, Far and Wide
Leaps and Bounds

She leaves a stain on your brain that will drive you insane

Your heart is left with nothing but confusion
Was it all really just an elaborate illusion?  
Time will prove that this is a minor contusion
Still I Helplessly fight the foregone conclusion

The pain will not remain it's just a mild sprain

Make sure you grab some crutches and try and keep yourself busy
Forget how when within her clutches you feel overwhelmingly dizzy

You need to mind less, why fret over things that you cannot control?
Just unnecessary stress, why let, these stings, infect your mated soul?

Finally broke the chain,  as evaporated champagne, is fatefully freed with the rain

With each passing second,
with every breath of air
With a force to be reckoned
Life has never been fair

So you can lie to yourself and say you don't really care
Or you can lie with the truth instead of choosing dare
But even if I become the world's very first trillionaire
I'll smile every day thinking of the rare that we share

So cast your words out amongst the great cosmic sea
Amidst the Blue Marble's Aliens and fateful life tree
Optimistic Electrons etched in diamonds eternally
Free for judgment, from among our Earth  Fraternity

So when I finish this sentence with saying, "you complete me"
I"m mean, it kills me to see, you, and well, me, but really we
Should, we, grab some ice cream sometime, she says discreetly
To the Ice Cream man named Victor go the spoils, questionably?

So may I just say, that... to YOU it may concern
It really is what it isn't, and I do mind if I don't
From every situation is another chance to learn
So if you don't mind if you do, I still never won't

So please proceed to buy a test for pregnancy of thee mind
I've placed thoughts inside, but I can't be sure they're mine

Collected fragments of molecules crashing and sputtering about
An idea has now been planted, Let's just pray there is no drought
If you're not comfortable with reading this I recommend you take a read after pill, email me if so...I have a red one, a blue one and then like, a sort of teal ish-looking turquoise one, honestly I'd probably take that one....

And appreciate being among the truly disenchanted

So is it luck or is it fate, essentially they are the same thing
Depending on your parents and what religion may bring

Either way, It's by far the strangest life I've ever known
And I've heard rumors that even the gods are jealous
Wishing secretly they could reap what they have sewn

The concept of legacy distracts thee
As I ironically set my thoughts free
The question is ...
Are we blessed with the ability
To achieve success and virility
Or is it that
We"re obsessed with a conquest
Of overcoming our sterility

As religion tries it's very best to **** off the human race
We try and finish off the rest, abusing our only living place
Overpopulating the nest, as we stare the sun directly in it's face
Until the final test, lets reserve front row seats in outer space

I hope we"re seated comfortably atop a Martian rafter
Witnesses of an absolutely beautiful disaster
Ghosts of dinosaurs let out Collective belly laughter
As the earth swallows a pill the very morning after
Collaborative suicide, if we could all only work together
No time to bide as our global warning comes from weather
I truly would pray, if it's not too late
For humans race to live and propogate
Spread peace and love try and **** hate
And Let us grasp our destiny and fate

The boiling Sun is shining at high noon
Time to act now, not a minute too soon
Grab an instrument, let"s all get in tune
So we can say cheers on Jupiter"s moon.
Walking the earth is not enough, you are born w a responsibility.. It's your job to discover passion along the way

Beer goggles on with a full head of steam
****** schemes rising to the top like cream
Broken rubber contributes to a new regime
Millions of soldiers swimming upstream
Each and every one with an existing dream

Hoping and wishing on a lucky lottery ticket
As the activists line up with signs to picket

To make sure none of them will ever die in vein
But I have to be honest, only one of you will reign
Some of you will drown while going down a drain
Some of you will simply end up as a fabric stain
Fear not, for the only one who will ever feel pain
Shall be the one who meets existence and it's bane

They tried their best to have me aborted
Hip to their scheme, their plan I thwarted
Fit Survival extremes, to which I resorted
And into the world I was finally imported

It's the same old story, just copied and pasted

But Who's better qualified for your time to ****
So let me proceed to bleed just to prove I'm alive
You'll never have to leave if you constantly arrive

They say Confucious once said that he's the true root of all confusion
And stars are really just God's making love, we call it nuclear fusion
Metaphorically I smite thee with blasphemy as I come to a conclusion
Then I left somehow forgetting to remember time is merely an illusion

They also say most communication is nonverbal and it crept in my head
I had so many questions to ask, but figured they were better left un-said
And as I opened my mouth I saw a sign with the words "better off read"
It was the manual to the future, "Stare at your phones until your dead"

I'll bury letters in the ground to let them rest in pieces
They'll decompose before the world finds their meaning
Their remnants shall intertwine with the seedlings of tomorrow
And take healthy root to sprout the beginning of the illusion

It will grow and grow and reach to kiss the sky
It just exists ignorantly free of the magnitude of why
No questions asked as time will pass, a ripple in a dream
Blink twice and the dust settles riddled and pristinely clean

All is flux and our celestial sphere is making the rounds
Words seem mundane under the magnifying glass
Archaic masochisms of our mind to help try and cope
Notions shall invade to question the cyclically divine

What's the rush? We're all on the same spinning vessel
Chase your tails in the Almighty dog and pony show
Enlightenment pins the Donkey's smile on the nail
As the hammer brings down the cataclysmic blow
All things are cyclical and our spherical celestial body is the Captain

Thoughts magically transformed to verse
Imagery and idolatry bleed ink to prose
Detracting my distraction is another curse

Clouds of Coffee raining down upon us all at five dollars a drop
Making my addictions more enthusiastic to never want to stop

Take a pill, numb the pain, and forget we are all not the same
Concentrate on your brain and forgive those who are to blame

The forecast, predicts a chance of grapefruit sized Hail
Mary, full of grace, recommends covering thy face
Down, take shelter now, the storm has now reached Gale
Force winds to change their mind, time, and place
To be, in the moment, is to graciously wag your own Tail
Spin as fast as you can and enjoy the storm chase

Whether we can or whether we can't, the dust will eventually settle
Whether we plan or whether we chant, rust will inevitably **** metal

Weather we change, and ignorantly turn a collective, cold shoulder
Whether we change, and choose to actually get wiser, not just older

So if life is in fact it's very own amazing book
Let us hope it's a choose your own fate

Poking around on the ground until the first lunge

Choking up all your elders with so many tears

unimaginable wide open fate
In your own world you were blameless

They need to keep you simple and stupid
And distract you no matter what the cost

And bleed you dry until everything is lost

Making us Diabetic and insanely Fat
While asking if we'd also like Fries
Would you also like cancer with that?

Silence is Poetic braille for the Blind
Immune from Freedumb.. it's defined
As...The power to act or think or speak...
Without externally imposed restraints
As the planet heats and things look bleak
Please press none if you have any complaints

How dare you ***** and moan with your little crisis
Stare down at your smartphone so far away from Isis

Don't worry the doctor's got a pill for your neck pain
That way we can still keep our heads down and ignore
Social network from the grave liking pictures in vein
Big sleeping pills for our death beds, I pray you snore

So you have a chance to wake from this fabricated dream
Don't go softly into that night and just remain content
As the government spies and lies to build the next scheme
To gain absolute new world control for the one percent

But to each their own,
Except of course mystery slaves
Who remain unknown
Buried in their unmarked graves

Justice eventually prevails as bloodlines are mixed and bred
Powers to be, tip the scales from masters for whom they bled
Cried so much over the years,but Karma's seed is finally fed
Appropriately from the tears, from suffering so painfully shed


So won't you please take my hand, and open your mind
The time has come to take a stand, and see what we find

Inject the feeling back into our lives, or remain comfortably numb?
UnNatural selection of who survives, or regain so called FreeDumb....

Chase money like our tails

What truly separates the beating of the human heart?
We choose to hurt
We refuse to give
At night we lay inert

As the skies turn grey and Earl once again is there

And Sigh With Tea... feet up,Tiki torch relaxing on the back porch

Her Lonely wandering fevered heart, Oolonging for a counterpart
Coffee shops invade the streets, with free wifi, and no empty seats
With each and every ground up bean, the owner's eyes bleed green
Another dirt water date and guy, when all she really wants is Chai

And Sigh With Tea... A cup of Afternoon delight, halfway to the night

I was supposed to give a speech, but you could say I dropped the ball
Because those who can't teach, Can crash a test.. dummy into the wall
Fingernail scrape upon the Blackboard, because she's all out of chalk
Smoked a heavy Herbal Supplement, now we can all barely even talk
Thank god for NonVerbal conversation as my brain's got writer's block

And Sigh With Tea...Evening's here, one more drink just so I can think

Shoes are off,as you finally made it home, but you came down With
A nasty cough,perhaps a syndrome,called a Hypochondriac's Myth
You worry too much, coat your throat and Gingerly plead the fifth
Sleepytime, may you have dreams free of the Grim Reaper's scythe

Dear Poetry,

My deepest and sincerest apologies that I've been away for so very long
I know you're not pleased with me, and I wish I could say you are wrong
But please accept my appeasing words, and place them in a pipe or ****
Smoke session for the absentees, as we turn this poem into a fateful song

So now that we are friends again and I've spoke and made peace
Desist from how things have been, and promise me to also cease
Resist the inclination to use common words such as Seize the Day
Thought incubation can create replacements for the typical cliche

In conclusion,
Poetry, I just want to thank you for always being there for me
In Seclusion,
the great wide open, anywhere in the future I may choose be
An Exclusion,
Is impossible with you and I in collusion for eternity's timely
Perfect Illusion,
Which can only be truly stamped once these words are set free
Feels good to be back, you ease my hypothetical soul
Train without a track, I need you in life to fill this hole

But now look at you, living a life comparable to only kings

With the future this bright, who knows what fortunes it brings

So as the party goes on and everyone rejoices, laughs and sings

Remember you were made 9 months ago by unspeakable things

Congratulations on making it through a another amazing year

At an age like yours, there's really only one thing left to fear

So think long and hard before that fateful wish you will make

And be extra thankful that you have and can also eat your cake

So without any doubt, cherish each and every day for god's sake

Blow the candles out, and we'll act like you really weren't a mistake!
Happy Birthday

You will not be fully complete, until your finish your task
So accept your inevitable defeat, with no questions to ask
Don't try fate's hand and cheat, or try to hide behind a mask
And receive thy promised treat, in all the glory one can bask

Follow in line and blend in just like a sheep
Robotic creatures of habit
Find some nice shade under a tree and sleep
Lazy features of the rabbit

Hedonistic Pleasure slaves, so addicted to that extraordinary feeling
Chasing immaculate waves, and the earth's almighty natural healing
The need to purchase everything that one possibly craves
Running time into the ground right up to our very graves

Nothing will stop them as they use everything they can muster
Blinded by the diamond's perfectly glorious omnipotent shine
Left with nowhere to turn once the new toy's lost all it's luster
Reminded of your wasteful ways, now's time to seek the divine

If only you had saved some money and perhaps bought a clue
Everything you really needed was always right in front of you
But here I'll offer it free of charge, just like an ordained preacher
A licensed life student at large, today I've chose to be the teacher

So question everything and anyone at every cost and measure
Don't waste time chasing your tail and each and every treasure
It's not about the temporary pose for a picture or what's on the surface
It's about what nobody truly knows, the will to live and learn purpose
I'd like to solve the puzzle ?

And so on and especially so forth, as it shall in time provide your journey's story and future clues to the scavengers of whom may choose to pursue, and even if they might peruse and cruise, they shall never ***** or shout, or begin to muck about but instead all cohesively be care free and gumption fillled to the Ump's teenth degree. Progress for the Better, Don't read the blinding letter... but if you do, Why pray our souls to keep, in a pickled formaldehyde case, so ******* cheap, that it eventually begins to seep and creep into the membranes of societies creek, who proceed to reap... and sOw, everything you thought you know, and renipulate and regurgitate their own versions of twisted and ManUScripted fate. They say don't hate, just *******
But the Globe is warm, despite all their charm
So I say we try and pray collectively all at once some day and unite the nobles of our HUMAN race.
Sound good? Everybody down then? I mean what do we really have to lose right? Am I not wrong? Was that a question mark on purpose?
IDK and IDC **** Next Tuesday works for me, umm does uhh, that work for everybody else?

Drifton A Way Feb 2013
My encaged still feet begin to grow restless at a pace ever so rapid
My enraged heart squeezes my lungs breathless, a feeling so vapid

Choice is thrown in the trash when you have a need to move like a magnet
Voice and tone cause a splash, as water will concede to avoid being stagnant
Rejoice, grown from the crash, imagination starts to bleed another fragment

Do you know what it's like to never truly know a real home?
Except for when you"re on the road again ever ready to roam?
So many wild oats waiting for their fateful needle to be sewn
Medusas eyes are the only way I'd lay as motionless as a stone

Remind me please with a cleansing sneeze of my allergies
I'm allergic to dying
Bare feet on the gravel, I must travel or my soul will unravel
My existence, is trying
To deprive me of my drive would mean I am no longer alive

The Cavity Queen
Drifton A Way Nov 2016
Finally time to cut the cord
With a double edge sword

She fell twenty three times and was always caught
until that very last time, she really hit the spot

She has a Tendency to sue the other side for the ultimate divorce

Yet a Dependency to reckon style differences and stay the course

Sew...So many wild oats to feed the horse  

Broken leg shotgun blast with no remorse

With "Ohh" so many secrets she preys to keep
She appetizes your mind and she begins to flirt
She has so many sewed memories still to reap
Come from behind Underdog dreams of dessert
Then the Poisoned Final coarse starts to creep
Racing in your veins because her ego was hurt
So take one last taste before you drift to sleep
Enjoy that sweet final nap deep within the dirt
She'll bury you alive, and rarely stray from the hive, she'll bee the queen for years to come until the fall of the kindgom

Flight...Less
Drifton A Way Feb 2014
There are so many different kinds of birds
Some are Flightless
While some may fly free
There are so many that flock with the herds
Cursed and sightless
They"ll disperse and flee
A writer's mind blocked from the right words
Blind and lightless
In the dark abyssal sea

Temp or Weary
Drifton A Way Feb 2014
Nobody knows the troubles you pose
Suspicion grows misinterpreting prose

For the truly mindful use rhyme for a cure
Instead of ambiguous words set on shuffle
Cluttering mind full of thoughts so obscure
Open interpretation precedes a nasty scuffle

Temporarily blind, guide dog by my side
A temporary bind, look to god to confide?

This is the strangest life I've ever known
I think, therefore I am.... Just barely alive
Existence is a dream, wake up to the phone
A voice says it's time, a journey shall arrive

Sacred Shadows
Drifton A Way Nov 2014
Temptation blinds us as our bodies dance so perfectly rhythmic
Cohesively combined and intertwined in and act so divine until
The sensation reminds us that our powers together are cataclysmic
The way you're designed must be make believe, intelligence's will

Searching for words to procure for your essence would be absurd
Even my futile attempts here and now will somehow be obscured
So let this be a warning to me to enjoy the journey and all endured
From her spell I can never be cured, and rest is never again assured

So may our ghosts elope and dance with the fateful wind
Because I never, ever want this majestic perfection to end
For anyone, to give to someone who isn't just everyone

Procrasti-Waiting Room
Drifton A Way Nov 2016
Once I'm finally there, I just can't wait to leave
Emergency Exit strategy hidden up my sleeve
Stop, Ask for directions, your biggest pet peeve
You can Wanderlust for life, if you only believe

Nothing is as it seems, just an elaborate facade
Funeral of my dreams, just you, me, and god
Just wait for the sign to be forced to applaud
Thy worms will dine, grim reaper's final nod

Care...Full
Drifton A Way Aug 2017
Better than yesterday but worse than tomorrow
Live in a present Way, there's no time to borrow

My restless soul is a pyro, lighting internal fires
Scattered mind won't let go,slashing all his tires

Stuck in muck,I need a tow,safe from the mires
I Give no ****,money to blow, chase all desires

What does it mean, to stay right in between
That happy median,defined by a Wikipedian

That mythological goal to balance in the middle
Nicholas' locked Cage, pursue the fateful riddle
Mind's almost full,fresh ideas hot off the griddle
Time to turn the page, but thumbs will twiddle

I felt like I couldn't breathe, nor could I hear
My heart prone to seethe,headlights to a deer
Finally My eyes are open and my head is clear
No more doubt or moping, there's no more fear

So proceed with caution a wiseman forewarns
Beware of the female fury, hell hath and scorns
But let love rule you, like a squirrel loves acorns
Embrace the wild ride and grab the bull's horns

See you are free to choose,write your own story
All we have is a life to lose,in all it's fragile glory
My only regret is that I can die for only one country....so far anyway

Drifton A Way Sep 2014
The fire burns within you
That need, one has to create
Excuse the improper venue
But the need is quite innate
Thoughts race from old to new
Reborn with ink,on paper's fate
Seeds were planted and grew
The Lock is broken, wide open gate

The time is now, make your move
Don't you dare ask why?
But rather, ask why not?

Someway, somehow you must prove
That you care enough to try
Maximize the time you got

Forgive,
But never forget
To live
But never regret
The past
Always think and learn
Act fast
So problems never return

I must applaud the big Facade
While I Ignore and try to Avoid
Let's complain, we're annoyed
But I do implore, the employed
To abstain from time enjoyed
Because my motto will always be
To age very slow...live, abnormally
One per... Spective... Per customer.. Per soul

We all have a choice to free Will
He starts off locked in a cage
You might choose to just chill
Or you may embrace your rage

Paralyzed you can remain still
But Remember this is your stage
It's truly only your time to ****
Choose your fate, turn the page

You fell asleep and woke to see
Under the bottom rock lay a key

I wonder, Was it even locked?
Perchance,Is this all a dream?
A blunder, yet they knocked
Romance, A Jehovah scheme

A paradise of the utmost ultimate utopia
A paradox, of thee immaculate dystopia

We chase and climb as we proclaim the divine
As Robert weaves tightropes and walks the line

A friend indeed to help Will Succeed to not
blindly bleed and pay the taxman's greed

It's only your life to lead, or perhaps throw away
Why not nurture the seed, and extend your stay

Please open your eyes and decide your path
Boldface the lies and regret's dreadful wrath

The future is here, prepare for a great surprise
I'm going to end this poem's life, with italicize
Anyone want to talk about Religion maybe? I have a few acres of time.

Almost out of gas, but this too shall pass
Try your own 2 feet, ahh the people you'll meet

Everyone's Avoiding death , but wait before you leave...
Please just take a breath, and remember to breathe

Holy ****, you gotta love fresh air
A world full of lies, yet the Earth still gives
As we pass the buck, and ignore the rare
Even Mel Gibson dies, but not everyone lives
Ramblings of a restless wondering wanderlustfilled gypsy

Leslie Takes Care...
Drifton A Way Sep 2017
What can I say? But, that's not a rhetorical question?

We could travel among an Ions Quest,
But still naturally question all the rest

Shall I digress?

That wasn't absolutely rhetorical yes?

Your drug makes me feel caged and free
Like it just wasn't absolutely meant to be

I could quite easily, care-lessly wander about
Take care Leslie, I'll see you at the next drought

Finally Free and clear to listen and hear
The universe calls, and asks for my ear

A little piece of advice, to bake your cake
But whatever you do, have some pie too
If you can't do good, for badness sake
Then what could anyone do for you?
A portal into the mind through a wormhole ..
Fuzzy Crawling yoga caterpillar in upward cat P
(Check the emojis) go ahead, do it... the puzzle begins

You are the epitome of a Broken, masterpiece
A Happy little accident, like a Robert Ross Tree

To procrastinate would just dehydrate their fate
Riddled and widdled to core instincts so innate

Like when reincarnated DNA lays a dinosaur egg

Like someone offering you a hand when you need a leg

Like a slap in the face when you wanted a hug

Like a crap in the place, but right on your rug

My point is you're rare, so much so ...so much I just don't know or care, because such blind luck should appropriately just not give a ****, or maybe give two...... and so the challenge lay at an absolute stalemate. Next time we shall both properly hydrate and then get in too mate and then hit the snooze and sleep in late...

Poem of the Day
Drifton A Way Aug 2016
The answers lie within you
Choose the proper venue
To convey finally just who
It is that you've grown into

It Must be tough to decipher and decode
Amongst the multitude of masses of guys
How's a woman ever supposed to know
If we're just wearing their designer disguise

So if you have a message you'd like to tell
Or if you have some organic goods to sell
And if you'd love to also avoid eternal hell
Join hello poetry and crawl out of that shell
Worth a shot- my dad
